Jane Crowfoot Fields of Gold Blanket

I love botanical drawings and so a few years ago I purchased a fabulous book from Kew Gardens with the most wonderful illustrations. There is a page within the book that features sunflowers, hellebores and opium poppy seed heads and it made me think of the fields of sunflowers we walked through on a lovely french holiday a few years ago.
I have always loved sunflowers with all of their connotations to heat and sunshine.
Vincent Van Gogh, whose series of sunflower still life studies are infamous, saw these stunning flowers as a symbol of friendship and gratitude, so using them as the inspiration for a design was inevitable. ​As wild poppies are commonplace in fields of sunflowers, it was logical that this design should feature them too.
